I have found that in this life we all have seasons, both good and difficult. I am so grateful to the Lord that most of our seasons are good and fewer are difficult. I have also found that it’s in those difficult seasons that we do our best spiritual growing and faith building. It wouldContinue reading “Celebrating Jesus from a Cage”

I was reading in Luke 17 and felt to exegete a passage from that chapter that is what I believe to be accurate to the text. It has to do with the coming Kingdom of God and what it takes to get there from here.  Jesus spoke these words over 2000 years ago and theyContinue reading “The Coming of the Kingdom”

In this blog I will attempt to convey a basic understanding of what the Second Coming of Jesus looks like for us who are looking for the Lord, and possibly, for anyone who might miss the Rapture.  The Second Coming of Jesus occurs at the end of the seven-year tribulation.  His return will come asContinue reading “The Second Coming of Jesus”

The Blessed Hope –A Pre-Tribulation Rapture – the hope of the NT Church I have noticed that there are some believers out there who are a bit unsure as to their view on the doctrine of the Rapture of the Church, be it due to an uninterest on their part, obvious distractions in the culture,Continue reading “The Blessed Hope – A Pre-Trib Rapture”

This blog is inspired by a song that was written by the late Keith Green, a contemporary Christian music artist from the late 70’s and early 80’s. The song Asleep in the Light powerfully expresses Keith’s concern for the cold-heartedness he found in too many Christians. Keith felt that it was part of his responsibilityContinue reading “Asleep in the Light”

In this blog I should like to attempt to describe what confidence in God looks like in the heart of a believer.  We are all called to live and walk by faith in God through Jesus, this is our commission from God’s Word.  Our love for the Lord prompts us to love His Word andContinue reading “‘God-fidence’ – a faith that affirms!”

In every born again believer there is a testimony of a ‘coming to faith in Christ’ moment that needs to be both cherished and told so that others might know and be glad.  Our testimony of faith is part of our witness of the Christ. The more we can appreciate our journey of faith, theContinue reading “My Personal Testimony of Faith”

In this blog I should like to best describe what a love tank is; and what it is not. One child psychiatrist said it this way, “Inside every child is an emotional tank waiting to be filled with love. When a child really feels loved, they will develop normally, but when their ‘love tank’ isContinue reading “The Love Tank”

The term ‘Love Deficit’ has been coined by a few authors and found in a few books written on the topic.  While these authors may have emphasized certain aspects of what a love deficit might look like in the life of a believer from their perspective; in this blog I should like to bring someContinue reading “Do I have a Love Deficit?”

As believers in Jesus, we have His commandment to love one another. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”                       – John 13:34,35Continue reading “Loving Others Through Your Scars”
